Printing Results

One option that is useful to change is the ``Terminal'' setting. This will be set correctly if all you want to do is view the graphs on your screen with Gnuplot. If you want to get a hardcopy printout, you have two alternate choices for the ``Terminal'' option. If you have a postscript printer, then use ``postscript'' as the terminal. Run Preplot, and then run Gnuplot as explained in Section 4.3. You will not see any output, but a file qtlcart.ps will be created (or stem.ps, where ``stem'' is your filename stem). This file can be sent to any postscript printer. The other alternative is ``hpljii'', which does something similar for HP-LaserJet II's (the output file will be stem.hp). You could use the ``hpljii'' option for ``Terminal'', and then edit the stem.plt file to change the type of printer to anything that Gnuplotsupports: See the Gnuplotmanual [Williams and KelleyWilliams and Kelley1993] for more details.
